The Self Lyrics by Fallow Land

Slow Down, Rockstar

2019

[Intro]
Can you ever be at peace if you only exist in the words you say?
You said death is coming
What do you mean
That you seek immortality through other means?
[Verse 1]
You were only 13 when it took hold of you
Well it destroyed everything
Like a farmer who burns the crops to let the soil breathe
You said, "It's a small price to pay for artistic integrity"
You're so damn naive
[Chorus]
I think of you more and more frequently
I hear your voice in every word I speak
And I'm trying hard to view you
Like a novel idea
And I hope you don't see through it
'Cause I need you
[Verse 2]
I knew that he'd been drinking but the words he spoke they hurt me so bad
'Cause I cannot control the things beyond my grasp
I'm sorry for getting so angry
It's not a good use of my energy
Maybe complacency is what I need
It's killing me
[Chorus]
I think of you more and more frequently
I hear your voice in every word I speak
And I'm trying hard to view you
Like a novel idea
And I hope you don't see through it
'Cause I need you
I think of you more and more frequently
I hear your voice in every word I speak
And I'm trying hard to view you
Like a novel idea
And I hope you don't see through it
'Cause I need you
